Tire Issues
Unfortunately, I found a screw in my front tire today. Being that the Vette has some special tires, is there anything I should worry about? Is there any special places that i should go to get that patched? Or will the local chevy dealer do?
Thanks guys.
P.S. Any one know how much this will cost me?

Find a GoodYear-certified repair shop that can work on runflats. The repair job will be free. Just show them the GoodYear tire warranty pamphlet you got with the car. If the screw is too close to the sidewall, they'll replace it free. Both of these free repair/replace jobs depend on the tire being 12 months old or less and no more than 2/32" of tread used.If older than 12 months or more than 2/32" of tread gone, a replacement will be prorated. I think you would have to pay if it's a repair.
